Poor, inadequate sleep can trigger suicide ideas — Experts

As part of healthy tips to sustain wellbeing, Nigerians are encouraged to ensure they get enough sleep on high-quality mattresses and pillows, like those made by Mouka, as sleep deficiency can lead to suicide ideas.

The Senior Brand and Innovation Manager, Mouka Limited, Akeem Audu, revealed this in Lagos State on Wednesday.

He said the lifespan of a human is determined by the quality of sleep acquired.

Audu made this known while addressing newsmen at a Brand Academy organised by Mouka Limited.

He added that research has revealed that people with poor or inadequate sleep as well as people with wrong sleeping habits tend to be disoriented in their daily lives.

Highlighting that part of the body is prone to pain because of repetitive body movement, Audu further disclosed that Mouka Foam aimed at helping people get satisfactory, comfortable and quality sleep as well as imbibe good sleeping culture

He said: “Our mantra is adding comfort to life.

“And we do this not only by providing top-quality sleep solutions, but also by ensuring our consumers imbibe a healthy sleep culture. 

“Our top priority is to secure Nigerians’ well-being.”

In her remarks, Dr. Remilekun Durojaiye, Chairman of the Nigeria Society of Physiotherapy, Lagos State chapter, outlined the five major components to a healthy lifestyle: Quality sleep, good diet, exercise, stress management and relaxation.

According to her, the quality and quantity of our sleep determine how healthy or sick we will be, stressing that our body regenerates and repairs itself when we get adequate and quality sleep.

Dr. Durojaiye advised that it is beneficial to have a regular fixed time for sleeping as this helps to regulate the system, thus making regeneration and repair constant and effective.

She added that it is recommended that we flip our mattress once every month if the opportunity to change the mattress has not presented itself to maintain a healthy sleeping posture.

Also speaking, the Chief Consultant, TPT International, Adetokunbo Modupe, encouraged content creators to involve themselves in activities that can boost their healthy lifestyle, adding that they can do it at their own pace.

Responding to a question of fakery in the mattress industry, Modupe advised that getting a Mouka Foam is the best option to avoid buying a fake one as you are not only buying the mattress, but the name.

He added: “If you buy from a Mouka source, there is a guarantee that you are not getting a fake mattress because there is a name to be protected.”
